Minnesotans just want to see a dentist. They shouldn’t have to take hours out of their day to find one that accepts their insurance.
But after that many patients over the course of 30 years, the clinic needed upgrades and more space to keep up with that demand. So, we secured $3.7 million of federal funding for the clinic upgrades and expansion.
Apple Tree Dental in Hawley, Minnesota has provided more than 353,000 dental visits to more than 35,000 patients across the Northland. They’ve often been the only provider in the area willing to see patients on Medicaid.

We’re eliminating two of these cumbersome railroad crossings by building overpasses, largely paid for thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I helped pass in 2021. It’ll make getting around Moorhead safer and more efficient for everybody.
Sometimes, they only delay you on your way to and from work and school. Other times, they block first responders and emergency vehicles at moments when every minute counts. But that’s finally changing.
Anyone who has lived or driven around Moorhead knows the train crossings along 11th Street can be a giant headache.

Cutting research into the parasite causing the outbreak is akin to burying our heads in the sand and hoping this whole thing goes away.
It was great to be in Duluth today and thank you to everyone who was there to celebrate!
We’ve been pushing to replace the bridge for a LONG time, throughout most of my nearly nine years in the Senate. Today, we finally broke ground on a wider, safer, and sturdier Blatnik Bridge.
The Blatnik Bridge between Duluth and Superior has reached the end of its useful life after serving us for 65 years. By 2030, it will have been deemed unsafe and decommissioned. But the bridge is the linchpin that connects the bustling, proud cities that make up the Twin Ports.

Six months ago he told us the Iran War would only last a few weeks
Renaming Lake Ontario is nothing more than the President throwing a temper tantrum that his trade wars are tanking the economy and pissing off Americans
Again, not a betting woman. But I’d bet if you handed Trump a map of all Great Lakes and asked him point and name them he couldn’t.
The Annunciation School community is strong and brave. Over the last year they have shown us how to meet darkness with hope and light.
